United States | 1967 | Frederick Wiseman
Ace documentarian Frederick Wiseman established his reputation with his very first film, a nightmarish look at Massachusetts’ Bridgewater State Hospital for the criminally insane. The movie was banned for 20 years because it allegedly violated the patients/inmates’ privacy and dignity. But what it really did was show how the state abused and tortured people in its care. Wiseman has continued to make unflinching cinema verité portraits of American institutions ever since. Adults only!
35mm. 84 min. Special admission $12; members and those age 25 & under $9; no passes, twofers, or radio winners and no second film discount.
